Try it.

Look at man mount to see the fs name, then mount -t fstype /dev/cd0c /cdrom
(I'm away from the source, so I'll not guess the file type; it's the
one with 9660 in the name).

I got 4.4BSD source from O'Riely, and it worked fine. Lowercase names and
all.

Then, if your kernel supports it, try
mount -t union /place/for/compiled/code /cdrom, and then go into /cdrom
and start compiling. the "union" file system was made to explicitly
support compiling off of CD-ROM. :-)

Take care,
